HomeMy WebLinkAboutCSU ENV. LEARN. CENT. - SITE PLAN ADVISORY REVIEW - 55-98 - CORRESPONDENCE - CITY HALL (3)• Additional required right-of-way on Prospect Road should be dedicated.
• The access road should be dedicated with a public access easement.
• Any water and sewer easements should be included on the plat.
• Additional Engineering comments are attached.
NATURAL RESOURCES
The outfall from the wetland should be positioned at an angle of less than 90
degrees so the outfall is with the flow in the creek rather than perpendicular to it.
CURRENT PLANNING
• The appropriateness of the building architecture is questioned. It seems that
as a visitors' center and environmental learning center, the building should
reflect more of the character of Fort Collins. The architecture in no way
reflects the use or the purpose of the building or the character of our
community. In addition, building materials should be aesthetically pleasing
and compatible with materials typically used in this area. These could include
brick, wood, sandstone and other native stone rather than metal as proposed.
Should you have any questions regarding these comments please contact me.
Also, if you would like to meet with those who reviewed the plans, I would be glad
to coordinate.

SUBJECT: CSU Environmental Learning Center
On Wednesday, June 02, 1999, staff from the Current Planning, Stormwater and
Engineering Departments have reviewed the most recent version of the proposed
CSU Environmental Learning Center. While there does not seem to be any
major issues remaining, we wanted to forward the following comments for your
information.
STORMWATER
• The plans do not show the boundaries of the floodplain. These need to be
shown to cgmpare with the elevation of the building.
• The drawings need to show how the grading of the site ties in to the property
to the south.
• A design of the outlet structure in the wetland needs to be provided. If a
water quality outlet is provided, a separate detail will be needed.
• No erosion control planor report was provided for review.
• The access road results in concentrated flows from the end of the drive into
the pond/wetland. This could result in erosion. CSU should address how this
will be prevented.
ENGINEERING
• The property should be platted. Without this, it is not considered a legal
building lot in the City. At a minimum, the portion of the site with the parking
lot should be platted.
• Easements from the City should be obtained for the parking lot.
